    The two-storey building with tiled roof seems out of place in the countryside.

    Information via correspondence with a member of the public: The person holding the hand of Queen Elizabeth II is ... Louis Le Breton who was Station Master, Bathurst. The photo depicts the moment when he is introduced to her and he welcomes her to Bathurst. The Queen complemented him on how beautiful his Railway Station was kept. He had many healthy plants about the station and kept an immaculate Railway Station.

    Ah, an old dogbox carriage. I'm sad I've not (yet!) had the chance to travel thus.

    There has been quite a bit of discussion on the Aus-Model Rail Forum about this photo. The problems being is that they forgot to put it here!. I have copied two of the posts in order to further this discussion. Posted by: "Ian" ianadunn Wed Mar 14, 2012 4:27 pm (PDT) It has a Thow funnel and acetylene headlamp, so that narrows it to the period 1899-1921. And it is numbered 296, not 296X, so it must be before 1917. Re: K296 photo from State Records Posted by: "David Bromage" Wed Mar 14, 2012 8:58 pm (PDT) I think I may have narrowed this down even further. There had been a protracted dispute with PWD which only wanted to pay the men 9s 8d per day for four days per week. PWD spent much of January and February in Trades Hall. The dispute was eventually settled by, amongst other things, agreeing to assist the wives of many of the workers to move to Condobolin. The first sod was turned on Friday 19 March and, according to the Barrier Miner, the newly arrived wives planned to take advantage of an excursion train "at the beginning of next week". This could be the picnic train in the photo. David

    iain stuart The year isn't clear in this answer. The first sod was turned on 19th March 1915. The excursion/picnic train was probably taken the following week. After such a protracted dispute this would have been an event worthy of expensive photography.

    For the non-Aussies! A 'dogbox carriage' is reported available at Canberra Railway Museum so that you can "observe [its] rudimentary comfort....., and American-style end-platform carriages, which operated in Sydney before the "red rattlers" electric trains replaced them", source : www.arhsact.org.au/index.php?Itemid=13
